みはし 上野本店

小倉あんみつ＋抹茶アイス、￥６４０。
Ogura(red bean) ice-cream Anmitsu with Matcha ice-cream.

クリームあんみつ＋小倉アイス。
Cream(Milk soft ice-cream) Anmitsu with Ogura ice-cream.
Famous Anmitsu place that has a couple of branches. This one in Ueno is the original shop. The ice-cream/soft-cream are all very nice that I always can't resist ordering extra scoop. The big rectangular chunk in the middle is red bean paste. Slightly sweet compared to other anmitsu places but I really like it.
Summer menu(J): 1, 2

Matcha juice with softcream. Oden and tea rice set.

クリーム白玉ぜんざい、￥５３０。白玉クリームあんみつ、￥５３０。
Cream shiratama zenzai. Shiratama cream Anmitsu.

Everything is very good in this place. The red bean, the ice-cream, the shiratama, the mochi are all so nice that any combination is great. After many visits, my favourite is actually the simple cream shiratama zenzai, but first-timer should definitely try the standard cream anmitsu. Oden is surprisingly good too.
